A good lesson in some banks mugging customers off. I used Chase to purchase a £156 (€180) ticket. There are no charges and with the exchange rate it cost £155.78, and in addition I got £1.56 back as cashback! So in total £154.22. If newer Internet based banks can offer full exchange rate, no fees and cashback then these archaic old school banks should be doing better. There is still time for anyone who is going out there to get a Chase account and any purchases out there will be fee free, offer full exchange rate and give you 1% cashback! Just a thought.
I've been thinking of getting an account with them for a while now they sound pretty good.
